2. 1. Biodiversity patterns and the processes regulating them along elevation gradients in the Swedish mountains

   Author : Johannes Måsviken; Love Dalén; Anne Bjorkman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; elevation gradients; spiders; insects; plants; latitude; altitude; alpha diversity; beta diversity; taxonomic diversity; phylogenetic diversity; functional diversity; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : Biodiversity describes the total variation of life and includes the taxonomic, genetic, and phenotypic differences among organisms. Variations of biodiversity in space and time may be driven by ecological, evolutionary, or neutral processes. READ MORE

4. 2. Investigating and Enhancing Performance of Multiple Antenna Systems in Compact MIMO/Diversity Terminals

   Author : Shuai Zhang; Sailing He; Raj Mittra; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multiple antennas; planar inverted-F antenna; mutual coupling; slot antenna; compact antenna; mobile antenna; Q factors; antenna array; ultra-wideband UWB antenna; pattern diversity; polarization diversity; user effects; adaptive arrays; chassis mode;

   Abstract : Today, owners of small communicating device are interested in transmitting or receiving various multimedia data. By increasing the number of antennas at the transmitter and/or the receiver side of the wireless link, the diversity/Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques can increase wireless channel capacity without the need for additional power or spectrum in rich scattering environments.

5. 3. The Effects of Mutation and Selection on the Rate and Pattern of Molecular Evolution in Birds

   Author : Sofia Berlin; Hans Ellegren; Adam Eyre-Walker; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; substitution rate; diversity; selection; male mutation bias; birds; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik;

   Abstract : By comparing sequence diversity and divergence on sex chromosomes one can study how the rate of evolution in affected by mutation and/or selection. The rate of mutation in male biased, meaning that relatively more mutations are created in the male germ line than in the female. READ MORE

6. 4. Characterization of Terminal Antennas for Diversity and MIMO Systems by Theory, Simulations and Measurements in Reverberation Chamber

   Author : Kent Rosengren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mode stirred chamber; embedded pattern; channel capacity; radiation efficiency; reverberation chamber; embedded element; MIMO; diversity gain;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on the work of designing and building a small reverberation chamber, and to use this chamber for characterization of antennas on mobile terminals such as phones. The characterization is done in terms of radiation efficiency, diversity gain and maximum available capacity. READ MORE

7. 5. Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning : Redundancy and Resilience in Freshwater Bacterial Communities

   Author : Hannes Peter; Lars J. Tranvik; Eva S. Lindström; Silke Langenheder; Nelson G. Hairston; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; ecosystem functioning; bacteria; fresh water; biofilms; multifunctionality; ecological networks; perturbation; fragility; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi; Biology with specialization in Limnology;

   Abstract : Bacteria are immensely diverse and hold key-positions in essentially all biogeochemical cycles. In freshwater ecosystems, bacteria degrade and mineralize organic compounds, linking the pool of dissolved organic matter to higher trophic levels. READ MORE
